Chapter 842: Get President Gu To Answer The Phone

After a long time, the phone was still ringing. She picked up the phone and walked out of the bedroom. When she reached the door of the study, the door was ajar. She gently pushed the door open. Gu Zheng was not in the room. Immediately after, the sound of water came from the bathroom.

“Gu Zheng, your phone is ringing,” Qiao Xi said.

The man’s deep voice came from the bathroom. “Answer it.”

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “This person has been calling you for a long time. Perhaps they have something urgent to tell you. It’s not good for me to answer it, right?”

The sound of water stopped. The man said without hesitation, “It’s okay.”

Qiao Xi held the phone and hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call. She then pressed the speaker button.

The person on the phone did not expect Gu Zheng to pick up her call and exclaimed. Then, a pretentious female voice came from the other end of the phone.

“President Gu, I’m really sorry to disturb you so early.”

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment before recognizing this woman. It was Tang Ruge!

Tang Ruge’s breathing was a little heavy as she asked nervously, “President Gu, did I disturb your sleep? I’m really sorry. I thought that you would have woken up by now, so I decided to call you. I hope you don’t mind.”

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. Qiao Xi sat on the sofa unhurriedly and chuckled. “Miss Tang, you clearly knew that you’d disturb him, so why did you still call?”

The corners of Tang Ruge’s mouth twitched slightly. Under the gaze of Madam Tang and Old Master Tang, she could only suppress her anger and pretend to be puzzled. “Ah… Did I call the wrong number? Who are you?”

Qiao Xi lay on the sofa and asked casually, “Miss Tang, do you know what time it is now?”

“Six o’clock.”

“You called at six in the morning, yet you’re asking who I am? Why are you pretending to be stupid?!” Qiao Xi did not show her any mercy.

Tang Ruge was so angry that her face darkened. Her nails almost dug into her palms.

Qiao Xi! This b*tch!

“So, it’s you, Xi Xi! I just couldn’t react in time. Don’t take it to heart! Is President Gu there? Why did you answer his phone? I remember that President Gu doesn’t like others touching his things. It’s not good for you to casually answer his call, right?”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Miss Tang, I hope you can understand something. I’m Ah Zheng’s wife, so I naturally have the right to answer his calls. Miss Tang, you call yourself a socialite from the capital, but you’re calling Ah Zheng at this time. Isn’t that too rude?”

Tang Ruge’s eyes were filled with resentment. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a trembling voice, “Xi Xi, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean that. I just want to remind you to avoid any conflicts between you two. Don’t always think that I’ll harm you. I’m doing this for your own good!”

“There’s no need.”

Qiao Xi questioned coldly, “Miss Tang, you don’t have to worry about me. Please explain why you called my husband so early in the morning.”

Tang Ruge clenched her fists tightly, and her gentle voice gradually changed. “I have something to tell President Gu. Can you get President Gu to answer the phone?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Tell me what it is. He’s taking a shower.”

The word ‘shower’ instantly caused Tang Ruge’s face to turn livid. Qiao Xi, this little b*tch who seduced men, was actually showing off such a thing to her. Didn’t she feel ashamed?

Tang Ruge’s fingers that were holding the phone turned pale, and her body was trembling slightly. “You don’t understand business matters. Give the phone to President Gu.”

“Miss Tang, are your ears not good? I already said that he’s in the shower and can’t answer the phone. Moreover, the Tang family and Gu Corporation have never done business with each other, yet you called so early in the morning to say that you want to discuss business. Don’t you think this reason is very far-fetched?”

Tang Ruge knew that Qiao Xi was mocking her sarcastically, and she was so angry that her breathing quickened. “Xi Xi, don’t misunderstand me. I wouldn’t have called President Gu if I didn’t have serious matters to attend to. As President Gu’s wife, you should be tolerant. You can’t be unreasonable just because of a phone call, right?”

“I’m being unreasonable? Miss Tang, don’t you have any self-awareness?!”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly and casually curled her lips into a smile. “It’s very easy to wake others up when you call so early in the morning. You’d better call when I’m not around next time.”

“Qiao Xi!” Tang Ruge could not help but roar. Sensing that she was agitated, she immediately took a deep breath and said gently, “You’ve really misunderstood. I really didn’t mean anything else. I’m indeed looking for President Gu for business matters.”
